Summary: Jack was working away on his robot while thinking about Kimiko. But then a certain Katnappe changes his mind.
Author's Note: I looked over the rules and they said that the pairing in question can be mentioned within the fic and there are plenty of mentions in this one. :D

He was working away on his robot with his goggles covering his red eyes. Working away all the frustration that could possibly be muster. Working away until his fingers bleed. Why was he working so hard? That's because he got his butt handed to him by his crush. Not the way you might think, it was actually in a Xiaolin Showdown. The game was a race to reach the newly active Shen Gong Wu. The Wu in question was the Dragon's Tooth. It can heal any wound, scars, skin damage, etc. The only thing it can't do is heal emotional pain and death. But, if he hadn't of known that, he would need it right about now. How would you feel if your crush beat you in a contest and then laughs in your face later on. Yeah, that bad.

He was so in depth with his dismembered robot that he didn't hear his intruder alert go off. She snuck in with light feet. Well, paw actually. She snickered as she saw him working away with his useless robot. Always the predictable one. She crept her way towards him and when she came up behind his chair, she made herself big and screamed.

"AHHH!" he screamed and tossed a piece of the robot into the air and fell out of his chair. He landed on his back. He got up on his elbows and looked up to see the satisfied grin from the girl in a black skin tight suit. "ARE YOU TRYING TO GIVE ME A HEART ATTACK!"

"Trying is nonchalant, more like... am," she replied as she took his seat and propped her feet onto his desk. He got up and brushed himself.

"What are you doing here anyway, Ashley," he sneered. She sent him a hiss.

"Heard about your loss and by the way it looks, I'd say that it's worth hearing it from you."

"How'd you know I lost?" he queried.

"Tubbimura planted a web cam on your coat button," she pointed to his coat that hanged over another chair. Jack raced over and grabbed it and sure enough, third button down, he found a hint of glass that can only be used for a camera. About the size of a fire ant, and like an ant, he put it between his fingers and squeezed it. He let the remains fall to the ground and the tiny pieces clattered. Then he let out an irritant groan and threw his coat on the ground with much force.

"Anger management much?" she asked. He looked up at her.

"Why do you care?"

"Oh Jacky, you know I don't, I just think that your crush on Kimiko has gone a little too far."

"What makes you say that?"

"Because A) She doesn't like you, at all, B) She thinks you're a creep, I don't blame her, and C) She's crazy about wind boy."

"Ugh don't remind me. Ever since he became leader, she has been all over him like two old people that you see in the movies," he sniped.

"I don't think it's because he's the leader."

"And what does that mean?"

"I'm saying they probably had the hots for each other for a very long time. That is, until they started kissing after every showdown now. Bleh."

He grimaced as he recollected after his loss. He saw the Dragon of Wind race over to her, wrapped his arms around her and planted a big kiss on her for the win.

"Why are you doing this?" he moaned as he walked over to her and sat on top of the desk.

"I'm just trying to get through to your head that your chances with her are zero to none."

He couldn't help but let out a smile.

"I thought you said you didn't care."

"I don't."

"Then why do you keep telling me to stop trying?"

"Because... it's pathetic to see you get hung over a lost cause."

He looked deep into her.

"I don't think that's it."

"And what's that suppose to mean?"
"I think you know what I mean."

She narrowed her eyes.

"Ugh, you are so disgusting."

"Admit it."

"No way."

"You know you want to."

"Why don't you make me?"

"Why would I make you if I know it's true?"

It was the final straw for her and she stood up with frustration and pushed him. Completely caught off guard, he lye there with his back on the desk. Then she pounced on top of him.

"Fine! I do care! I go insane every time you give her that stupid look! I like you like Kimiko loves Raimundo!" she screamed in his face. All the while she was yelling, his face scrunched up in fear. But when the yelling ceased, his face softened and looked up at her.

"I knew it." She hissed and got off of him and marched out of his basement.

He sat up with the same smile still plastered on his face. Then, in a second, turned into shock.

"She loves me?"
